Source: DappRadarAt the same time, AI DApp activity surged over 26% to reach 3.8 million daily unique active wallets (dUAW), up from the 2.6 million dUAW recorded in February.<br \/>\nIn contrast, DeFi activity dropped by 16%, settling at 4.8 million dUAW, which is equal to the gaming sector, which saw a 10% decline as well.<br \/>\nSource: DappRadarGherghelas said most of the top AI DApps being tracked by DappRadar have remained the same, with many tied to AI agent infrastructure and those building utility.<br \/>\nLOL, a project that styles itself as an AI-powered mining system, is the top AI DApp on DappRadar\u2019s list in dUAW. LOL encourages users to send a voice recording of laughter to Telegram groups that use the LOL AI bot, which then uses factors like pitch and frequency to calculate the number of LOL tokens paid out in rewards.<br \/>\nComing in second is AI-powered decentralized messaging service Dmail Network. Rounding out the top three is World.\u200e\u200e\u200eFun, a launchpad that allows users to deploy AI agents into massive multi-agent simulations.<br \/>\n\u201cThis month, the top AI DApps on our platform remain largely unchanged, reinforcing the staying power of early leaders in this space. These projects are not just riding the hype: they\u2019re building utility,\u201d she added.<br \/>\nLast December, crypto industry execs told Cointelegraph they expected AI agents to transform Web3 in 2025, flagging crypto staking and onchain trading as emerging early use cases.\u00a0<br \/>\nHowever, there was also speculation that AI would face headwinds, including technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, and centralization.\u00a0<br \/>\nSocial DApps rise as Web3 holds ground<br \/>\nSocial DApps also saw a spike in activity for April, with an 18% increase to 3.6 million dUAW. Social DApp market dominance also grew to over 15% for the month.<br \/>\nRelated: Crypto users cool with AI dabbling with their portfolios: Survey<br \/>\nGherghelas said overall that \u201cWeb3 is holding its ground,\u201d despite wider market turbulence in the wake of sweeping US tariffs, with 23 million daily active wallets recorded in April, compared to the 24 million recorded in February.<br \/>\n\u201cApril\u2019s top performers underscore a key narrative: utility and narrative-driven hype, especially around memecoins and AI, are major drivers of user engagement,\u201d Gherghelas said.\u00a0<br \/>\nMagazine: UK\u2019s Orwellian AI murder prediction system, will AI take your job?
